foreword 


My  dear  People  : 

In  response  to  the  request  made  by  the  Rec- 
tor from  the  chancel  the  last  Sunday  in  Novem- 
ber, enough  money  has  been  contributed  to  make 
possible  the  printing  of  this  Anthem  Book.  Sev- 
eral persons  have  from  time  to  time  expressed 
a  desire  to  have  before  them  in  church  the  print- 
ed words  of  anthems  rendered  at  the  services 
and  even  to  possess  such  a  book  in  their  homes  in 
order  that  they  might  peruse  it  and  thus  become 
as  familiar  with  the  words  of  certain  of  the  an- 
thems, with  whose  music  they  are  now  familar, 
as  they  are  with  the  words  of  hymns  rendered 
"in  church  with  about  the  same  frequency. 

I  have  asked  the  choirmaster  to  compile  a  list 
of  about  one  hundred  anthems.  This  he  has 
done  and  he  assures  me  that  this  list  makes  up 
in  general  the  choir's  repertoire  for  these  past 
several  years  and  that,  in  all  probability  it  will 
contain  all  the  anthems  to  be  used  at  services  this 
Winter  as  well.  I  have  had  the  words  of  these 
copied  out  and  copy  prepared  for  the  printer.  I 
have  also  had  the  printer's  estimate  for  such  a 


a^s^^^^a^feai^^^sa»aaBE^^sggs^B  fl 


^^3^^^^^B!^^^^gE9BBg5»gtessafcagBiBi 


book  and  find  that  it  will  cost  about  $100  for  500 
copies.  The  little  volume  is  to  be  paper  bound. 
This,  of  course,  means  twenty  cents  a  piece. 

I  have  thought  it  too  petty  a  proceeding  to 
undertake  to  have  these  sold  one  by  one  at  that 
small  price  to  that  large  number  of  persons  and 
so,  for  the  present,  these  will  be  distributed 
throughout  the  pews  in  church.  So  long  as  they 
remain  in  the  pews  they  will,  of  course,  be  con- 
sidered church  property  and  treated  as  such ; 
which  means  to  say,  of  course,  that  they  must 
not  be  taken  away.  In  any  cases,  however,  in 
which  any  persons  wish  to  take  them  home  and 
keep  them  there,  for  their  perusal,  it  will  be  more 
than  gratifying  indeed  to  find  that  they  desire  to 
do  so.  But  in  that  case  they  will  naturally  want 
individually  to  pay  for  the  books  which  thus  be- 
come their  own.  If  anyone  wishes  to  carry  the 
books  away  with  them,  they  may  feel  entirely  at 
liberty  to  do  so  by  handing  twenty  cents  to  the 
verger.  He  will  keep  the  proceeds  of  such  sales 
in  a  fund  by  itself  which  can  be  used,  if  occa- 
sion arises,  to  purchase  more  books  to  replace  in 
the  pews  those  carried  away  in  this  manner.

£%ND  I  saw  another  angel  ascending  from  the  east, 
having  the  seal  of  the  living  God  ;  and  he  cried  with  a 
loud  voice  to  the  four  angels,  saying  :  Hurt  not  the 
earth,  neither  the  sea,  nor  the  trees,  till  we  have  sealed 
the  servants  of  our  God  in  their  foreheads.  And  lo,  a 
great  multitude,  which  no  man  could  number,  of  all 
nations,  and  kindreds,  and  people,  and  tongues,  stood 
before  the  throne,  and  before  the  Lamb,  clothed  with 
white  robes,  and  palms  were  in  their  hands ;  and 
cried  with  a  loud  voice,  saying  :  Salvation  to  our  God 
which  sitteth  upon  the  throne,  and  unto  the  Lamb. 
Amen.  Blessing  and  glory,  and  wisdom,  and  thanks- 
giving, and  honour,  and  power,  and  might,  be  unto 
our  God  for  ever  and  ever.     Amen.

hath  made,  we  will  rejoice  and  be  glad  in  it. 

For  now  is  Christ  risen  from  the  dead  and  become 
the  first-fruits  of  them  that  slept.  Thanks  be  to  God 
which  giveth  us  the  victory  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

All  praise  be  thine,  O  risen  Lord, 
From  death  to  endless  life  restored, 
All  praise  to  God  the  Father  be, 
And  Holy  Ghost  eternally.     Amen.

Hwafte,  awake,  ©  Zion. 

l^iWAKE,  put  on  thy  strength,  O  Zion  ;  put  on  the 
beautiful  garments,  O  Jerusalem,  the  holy  city  ;  for 
henceforth  there  shall  no  more  come  unto  thee  the 
uncircumsized  and  unclean.  Shake  thyself  from  the 
dust ;  arise  and  sit  down,  O  Jerusalem  ;  Loose  thyself 
from  the  bands  of  thy  neck,  0  captive  daughter  of 
Zion. 

How  beautiful  upon  the  mountains  are  the  feet  of 
Him  that  bringeth  glad  tidings,  that  publisheth  peace, 
that  publisheth  salvation ;  that  saith  unto  Zion,  Thy 
God  reigneth  !  Thy  watchmen  shall  lift  up  the  voice  ; 
with  the  voice  together  shall  they  sing ;  for  they  shall 
see  eye  to  eye,  when  the  Lord  shall  bring  again  Zion. 

Break  forth  into  joy,  sing  together  ye  waste  places 
of  Jerusalem  ;  for  the  Lord  hath  comforted  his  people, 
He  hath  redeemed  Jerusalem.  The  Lord  hath  made 
bare  His  holy  arm  in  the  eyes  of  all  the  nations  ;  and 
all  the  ends  of  the  world  have  seen  the  salvation  of  our 
God.     Hallelujah.     Amen.

Hnfc  all  tbe  people  eaw  tbe  tbunfcertngs. 

£\ND  all  the  people  saw  the  thunderings,  and  the 
lightnings,  and  the  noise  of  the  trumpet,  and  the 
mountain  smoking ;  and  when  the  people  saw  it  they 
removed  and  stood  afar  off.  And  they  said  unto 
Moses,  Speak  thou  with  us,  and  we  will  hear  ;  but  let 
not  God  speak  with  us  lest  we  die. 

When  God  of  old  came  down  from  heaven , 

In  power  and  wrath  He  came  ; 
Before  His  feet  the  clouds  were  riven, 

Half  darkness  and  half  flame. 

But  when  He  came  the  second  time, 

He  came  in  power  and  love, 
Softer  than  gale  at  morning  prime, 

Hovered  His  holy  Dove. 

Beloved,  let  us  love  one  another  ;  for  love  is  of  God  ; 
and  everyone  that  loveth  is  born  of  God.  If  we  love 
one  another,  God  dwelleth  in  us,  and  His  love  is  per- 
fected in  us. 

Come  Lord,  come  Wisdom,  Love,  and  Power, 

Open  our  ears  to  hear ; 
Let  us  not  miss  the  accepted  hour  ; 

Save,  Lord,  by  love  or  fear.        Amen.

JjDEHOLD  the  days  will  come  saith  the  Lord,  that  I 
will  raise  unto  David  a  righteous  Branch,  and  a  King 
shall  reign  and  prosper.  In  His  days  Judah  shall  be

Name  whereby  He  shall  be  called,  The  Lord,  our 
Righteousness.  Then  shalt  thou  call  thy  walls  Salva- 
tion, and  thy  gates  Praise.  And  thy  children  shall  be 
all  taught  of  the  Lord,  and  great  shall  be  the  peace  of 
thy  children.  Then  shall  the  lambs  feed  after  their 
manner.  The  lion  shall  eat  straw  like  the  ox.  The 
lamb  and  the  wolf  shall  dwell  together  and  a  little 
child  shall  lead  them.  They  shall  not  hurt  nor  kill  in 
all  my  holy  mountain. 

O  Home  of  fadeless  beauty, 

Of  flowers  that  fear  no  thorn, 
Where  they  shall  dwell  as  children, 

Who  here  as  exiles  mourn. 

Hallelujah.     Amen. 

The  Lamb  is  all  thy  splendour, 

The  crucified  thy  praise, 
His  laud  and  benediction, 

Thy  ransomed  people  raise, 

Hallelujah.     Amen.

ffip  Babylon'©  TOave. 

IIjERE  by  Babylon's  wave,  Tho'  heathen  hands  have 
bound  us,  Tho'  afar  from  our  land.  The  pains  of  death 
surround  us ;  Sion  !  thy  memory  still,  In  our  hearts 
we  are  keeping,  And  still  we  turn  to  thee,  Our  eyes  all 
sad  with  weeping.  Thro'  our  harps  that  we  hung  on 
the  trees,  Goes  the  low  wind  wearily  moaning  ;  Mingles 
the  sad  note  of  the  breeze,  With  voice  as  sad  of  sigh 
and  groaning.  When  mad  with  wine  our  foe  rejoices, 
When  unto  their  altars  they  throng,  Loud  for  mirth 
then  they  call.  "A  song  !  A  song  of  Sion  sing,  lift  up 
your  voices  !  "  O  Lord,  tho'  the  victor  command,  Our 
captivity  sad  and  lowly,  How  shall  we  raise  Thy  song 
so  holy,  That  we  sung  in  our  father  land  !  Jerusalem, 
if  we  forget  thee,  Let  our  hands  remember  not  their 
power  and  our  tongues  be  silent  from  that  hour.  Woe 
unto  thee  I  Babylon  mighty  city,  For  the  day  of  thy 
fall  is  nigh  !  For  thee  no  hope,  no  pity,  Tho'  loud  thy 
wail  riseth  on  high  !  Then  shalt  thou,  desolate,  for- 
saken, Be  torn  from  thy  fanes  and  thy  thrones. 
Then  woe  unto  thee,  O  Babylon,  the  mighty  !

Christmas  Song. 

^HREE  kings  have  journeyed  from  the  eastern  land, 
A  star  hath  led  them  to  Jordan's  strand,  And  in  Judea 
inquire  the  three,  Where  the  newborn  infant  king  may 
be?  With  gold  and  myrrh  and  incense  sweet.  They 
bring  the  holy  child  an  offering  meet.  And  brightly 
shineth  the  guiding  star  ;  Unto  the  manger  the  kings 
repair.  With  rapture  on  the  boy  the}''  gaze.  And  bow 
before  him  in  joy  and  parise. 

0  child  of  man  !  hold  thee  firm  and  true  ;  The  kings 
come  hither,  O  come  thou  too  !  The  star  of  mercy,  the 
star  of  love,  Shall  point  the  pathway  to  heaven  ahove  ; 
And,  fail  thee  gold  and  incensa  sweet,  Lay  thou  thy 
heart  at  the  Saviour's  feet ! 

How  radiant  shines  the  morning  star  ! 

Around  the  Lord  what  splendors  are  : 
Who  may  not  bow  before  Him  ! 

Oh  Ray  of  God,  dispelling  night, 
To  darkling  souls  thou  brightest  light, 

Who  faithfully  adore  Him.

Then  Thou,  the  wounded  soul, 

In  that  sad  hour,  with  healing  power 
Dost  touch,  and  makest  whole.

Darkness  was  over  all. 

Xi/ARKNEESS  was  over  all,  that  hour  when  they 
crucified  him,  our  Saviour.  It  was  about  the  ninth 
hour,  Jesus  with  a  loud  voice  exclaiming:  God,  my 
Father,  0  wherefore  hast  thou  forsaken  me  ?  Having 
spoken,  he  bow'd  his  head  and  yielded  up  the  ghost. 
And  he  exclaimed  with  a  loud  voice,  crying:  Father, 
now  into  Thy  hands  do  I  commend  my  spirit.

It/ VERY  flower  that  blossoms  fresh  from  mouldyearth 
Sings  of  resurrection,  whispers  of  new  birth. 
Every  plant  that,  dying  seems  to  meet  decay, 
Only  waits  with  patience  for  an  Easter  day. 

Seeds  of  promise,  scattered  over  all  the  land, 
Spring  to  life  and  beauty,  guided  by  God's  hand, 
And  our  souls,  more  precious,  than  all  earth  besido, 
Surely  shall  awaken  at  some  Eastertide. 

Then  let  hearts  and  voices  Easter  anthems  sing, 
Then  let  allelulias  through  the  glad  earth  ring, 
For  our  Christ  is  risen,  and  beyond  the  grave, 
Over  death  and  sorrow,  He  is  strong  to  save. 


Only  wait, 

Only  wait, 

In  patience, 

For  an  Easter  Day.

Heap  the  roses  rich  and  rare, 
Round  the  stately  callaset, 
Heliotrope  and  mignonette; 

From  their  fragrance  comes  a  voice, 
Bidding  Christian  hearts  rejoice, 
Whispering  through  their  lips  of  bloom, 
Christ  is  risen  from  the  tomb. 

Angels  with  their  heavenly  tone, 
'Mid  the  sepulchre  of  stone, 
Watched  amid  the  fearful  shade, 
Where  the  Crucified  was  laid. 

Said  the  mourning  few  who  came, 
Ere  the  morning's  earliest  flame 
Met  them  with  the  words  of  cheer, 
He  is  risen,  He  is  risen,  He  is  not  here. 

Fill  the  font  with  roses,  with  roses,  sweet  roses; 
Fill  the  font  with  roses,  heap  them  rich  and  rare; 
Fill  the  font  with  roses,  with  roses,  sweet  roses; 
Fill  the  font  with  roses,  fill  the  font  with  roses  rare.

Though  the  arrows  past  us  fly,

We  are  safe,  if  Thou  art  nigh. 

Should  swift  death  this  night  o'ertake  us, 
And  our  couch  become  our  tomb, 
May  the  morn  in  heaven  awake  us, 
Clad  in  light  and  deathless  bloom.

For  Thou  alone  canst  save  and  heal.

While  to  my  heart  comes  balm  so  mild,

Despair  thou  not,  oh!  erring  child. 

Oppressing  care  from  me  is  taken, 

The  flower  of  hope  doth  bloom  once  more; 

A  joy  devout  it  doth  awaken, 

The  dark  clouds  pass,  the  gloom  is  o'er. 

And  ah!  I  hear  the  angels  singing, 
While  visions  rise  of  splendor  bright, 

Released  from  bonds  my  soul  is  winging 
Aloft  to  Thee,  to  realms  of  light.

The  feet  of  them  that  preach,  and  bring  good  news  of 

peace. 
Ye  mountains,  ye  perpetual  hills,  l>o\v  ye  down. 

Over  the  barren  wastes  shall  flowers  now  have  pos-

Dark  shades  of  ancient  days,  full  of  hate  ami  op-

In  the  brightness  of  joy  fade  away,  and  are  gone. 

In  this  age,  truly  blest  more  than  ages  preceding, 
Shall  the  corn  never  fail  from  the  plentiful  ground; 

Under  the  shining  sky  shall  the  lambs  gaily  bound: 
Void  of  fear,  undisturbed,  safely  shall  they  be  feeding. 

Then  the  timorous  doves,  wheresoever  they  fl}*, 
Shall  not  fear  any  more  the  hawk's  merciless  cry.

JLORD  of  our  life,  and  God  of  our  salvation, 
Star  of  our  night,  and  Hope  of  every  nation, 
Hear  and  receive  Thy  Church's  supplication, 
Lord  God  Almighty. 

See  round  Thine  ark  the  hungry  billows  curling ; 
See  how  Thy  foes  their  banners  are  unfurling; 
Lord,  while  their  darts  envenomed  they  are  hurling, 
Thou  canst  preserve  us. 

Lord,  Thou  canst  help  when  earthly  armor  faileth, 
Lord,  Thou  canst  save  when  deadly  sin  assaileth, 
Lord,  o'er  Thy  Church  nor  death  nor  hell  prevaileth; 
Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord. 

Grant  us  Thy  help  till  foes  are  backward  driven, 
Grant  them  Thy  truth,  that  they  may  be  forgiven, 
Grant  peace  on  earth,  and,  after  we  have  striven, 
Peace  in  Thy  Heaven.    Amen.

CLHRIST,  when  a  child,  a  garden  made, 

And  many  roses  nourish  there  , 
He  watered  them  three  times  a  day 

To  make  a  garland  for  his  hair. 
And  when  in  time  the  roses  bloomed, 

He  called  the  children  in  to  share: 
They  tore  the  flow'rs  from  ev'ry  stem, 

And  left  the  garden  stript  and  bare. 

"How  wilt  thou  weave  thyself  a  crown, 

Now  that  thy  roses  are  all  dead?" 
"Ye  have  forgotten  that  the  thorns 

Are  left  for  me,"  the  Christ-child  said. 
They  plaited  then  a  crown  of  thorns 

And  laid  it  rudely  on  his  head. 
A  garland  for  his  forhead  made 
For  roses  drops  of  blood  instead.

The  dawn  of  Thine  eternal  Light,

But  Thou,  0  Son  of  God.

IrlOW  the  day  is  over, 

Night  is  drawing  nigh; 
Shadows  of  the  evening 

Steal  across  the  sky. 

Jesus,  give  the  wreary 
Calm  and  sweet  repose; 

With  Thy  tenderest  blessing, 
May  our  eyelids  close. 

Grant  to  little  children 
Visions  bright  of  Thee; 

Guard  the  sailors  tossing 
On  the  deep  blue  sea. 

Comfort  every  sufferer 
Watching  late  in  pain; 

Those  who  plan  some  evil 
From  their  sins  restrain. 

Through  the  long  night-watches, 
May  Thine  angels  spread 

Their  white  wings  above  me, 
Watching  round  my  bed. 

When  the  morning  wakens, 

Then  may  I  arise 
Pure,  and  fresh,  and  sinless 

In  Thy  holy  eyes.

Nature's  praise  of  (Soft. 


G 


HE  heavens  declare  with  an  endless  devotion, 
The  Eternal's  glory  through  all  time. 
His  praise  re-echoes  o'er  earth  and  o'er  ocean, 
Hear  it,  0  man,  the  word  divine! 

He  gave  the  myriad  stars  their  existence, 

And  He  leads  the  sun  in  splendor  on, 
It  comes  in  brightness,  and  shines  from  the  distance, 

And  hero-like  its  course  doth  run. 

Regard  it  well  all  this  wondrous  creation, 

That  God  so  grandly  hath  unfurled! 
Does  it  not  prove  by  the  wise  ordination 

That  He  is  Lord  of  all  the  world? 

Of  all  tho'  great  or  small,  He  is  the  donor, 
And  canst  thou  unmoved  His  goodness  see? 

Thro'  Him  are  all  things,  so  His  be  the  honor, 
In  him  alone  thy  faith  shall  be. 

The  Lord  is  God,  His  are  earth  and  the  heaven, 

'Tis  his  right  hand  upholdeth  thee! 
And  he  whose  word  to  all  things  life  has  given, 

Thy  father  evermore  will  be. 

He  is  thy  Maker,  who  so  wisely  e'er  leadeth, 
Is  thy  rod  and  staff ,  thy  strength  and  stay! 

O  Love  and  praise  him  who  ever  thee  shieldeth, 
Whose  mercy  guards  and  guides  thy  way.

Each  day  I  wonder  and  say,  "How  long 
Shall  time  me  sunder  from  that  dear  throng?" 

No  weeping  yonder!     All  fled  away, 
While  here  I  wander  each  weary  day, 
And  sigh  as  I  ponder  my  long,  long  stay. 

No  partings  yonder! 
Time  and  space  never 
Again  shall  sunder. 

Hearts  cannot  sever: 
Dearer  and  fonder 
Hands  clasp  forever. 

None  wanting  yonder!  Bought  by  the  Lamb, 
All  gathered  under  the  evergreen  palm. 
Loud  as  night's  thunder  ascends  the  psalm.

world  to  save.

completes  His  sacrifice,  into  His  Father's  hands  com-

'HE  radiant  morn  hath  passed  away, 

And  spent  too  soon  her  golden  store; 
The  shadows  of  departing  day  creep  on  once  more. 

Our  life  is  but  a  fading  dawn; 
Its  glorious  morn  has  quickly  passed, 

Lead  us,  O  Christ,  when  all  is  gone,  safe  home  at  last. 
Where  saints  are  clothed  in  spotless  white, 

And  evening  shadows  never  fall; 
Where  Thou,  Eternal  Light  of  Light, 

Art  Lord  of  all.

1REMEMBER  now  thy  Creator  in  the  days  of  thy 
youth,  while  the  evil  days  come  not,  nor  the  years  draw 
nigh,  when  thou  shalt  say,  I  have  no  pleasure  in  them. 
While  the  sun,  or  the  light,  or  the  moon,  or  the  stars, 
be  not  darkened,  Nor  the  clouds  return  after  the  rain: 
In  the  day  when  the  keepers  of  the  house  shall  tremble, 
and  strong  men  shall  bow  themselves,  and  the  grinders 
cease  because  they  are  few,  and  those  that  look  out  of 
the  windows  be  darkened,  And  the  doors  shall  be  shut 
in  the  streets,  when  the  sound  of  the  grinding  is  low, 
and  he  shall  rise  up  at  the  voice  of  the  bird,  and  all  the 
daughters  of  music  shall  be  brought  low.  Then  shall 
the  dust  return  to  the  earth  as  it  was,  and  the  spirit 
shall  return  unto  God  who  gave  it.  Vanity  of  vanities, 
saith  the  preacher.     All  is  vanity.

VimHEN  Jesus,  our  Lord,  was  born  in  Bethlehem,  in 
the  land  of  Judea;  behold  from  the  east  to  the  city  of 
Jerusalem  there  came  wise  men,  and  said;  Say,  where 
is  He  born,  the  King  of  Judaea?  For  we  have  seen  His 
star  and  are  come  to  adore  Him. 

There  shall  a  star  from  Jacob  come  forth,  and  a  sceptre 
from  Israel  rise  up;  and  dash  in  pieces  princes  and 
nations. 

So  bright  the  star  of  morning  gleams, 
So  Jesus  sheddeth  glorious  beams, 
Of  light  and  consolation 

Thy  Word,  O  Lord;  Radiance  darting, 
Truth  imparting,  Gives  salvation; 
.<    Thine  be  praise  and  adoration.

Faith    hath  Thy    love    revealed    through  this    day's

The  day  is  past  and  gone,  night  gathers  slowly; 
Thou  ever  blessed  One  now  keep  us  holy !

Gbere  is  a  green  hill  far  awa$, 

QHERE  is  a  green  hill  far  away, 

Without  a  city  wall, 
Where  the  dear  Lord  was  crucified, 

Who  died  to  save  us  all. 

We  may  not  know,  we  cannot  tell 

What  pains  He  had  to  bear. 
But  we  believe  it  was  for  us 

He  hung  and  suffered  there. 

He  died  that  we  mig  ht  be  forgiven 

He  died  to  make  us  good, 
That  we  might  go  at  last  to  heaven, 

Saved  by  His  precious  blood. 

There  was  no  other  good  enough 

To  pay  the  price  of  sin; 
He  only  could  unlock  the  gate 

Of  Heaven,  and  let  us  in. 

Oh,  dearly,  dearly,  has  He  loved, 

And  we  must  love  Him  too, 
And  trust  in  His  redeeming  Blood, 

And  try  His  works  to  do.

W  HOLY  night!  the  stars  are  brightly  shining, 
It  is  the  night  of  the  dear  Saviour's  birth. 
Long  lay  the  world  in  sin  and  error  pining, 
Till  he  appeared  and  the  soul  felt  its  worth. 
A  thrill  of  hope  the  weary  world  rejoices, 
For  yonder  breaks  a  new  and  glorious  morn. 

Fall  on  your  knees,  O  hear  the  angel  voices! 
0  night  divine,  0  night  when  Christ  was  born, 
0  night  divine,  O  night,  0  night  divine. 
Fall  on  your  knees,  0  hear  the  angel  voices! 
O  night  divine,  0  night  when  Christ  was  born! 
0  night  divine,  0  night,  0  night  divine! 

Led  by  the  light  of  Faith  serenely  beaming, 
With  glowing  hearts  by  His  cradle  we  stand. 
So  led  by  light  of  a  star  sweetly  gleaming, 
Here  came  the  wise  men  from  the  Orient  land. 
The  King  of  Kings  lay  thus  in  lonely  manger, 
In  all  our  trials  born  to  be  our  friend. 

He  knows  our  need,  He  guards  us  from  all  danger, 
Behold  your  King,  before  the  Lowly  bend, 
Behold  your  King,  your  King,  before  Him  bend. 
Fall  on  your  knees,  O  hear  the  angel  voices! 
O  night  divine,  0  night  when  Christ  was  born! 
O  night  divine,  O  night,  0  night  divine!

As  without  hope,  Oh  earth! 

A  brighter  morrow 

Dawned  with  that  infant's  birth! 

Our  sins  were  great  and  sore 

But  these  the  Saviour  bore 

And  God  was  wroth  no  more, 

His  own  Son  was  the  child  that  lay  in  Bethlehem! 

Babe  weak  and  wailing, 

In  lowly  village  stall, 

Thy  glory  veiling, 

Thou  comest  to  die  for  all !

Vl'HE  first  Nowell  the  Angel  did  say, 
Was  to  certain  poor  shepherds  in  fields  as  they  lay; 
In  fields  where  they  lay  keeping  their  sheep, 
On  a  cold  winter's  night  that  was  so  deep. 

Nowell,  Nowell,  Nowell,  Nowell, 
Born  is  the  King  of  Israel. 

They  looked  up  and  saw  a  Star, 

Shining  in  the  East,  beyond  them  far, 

And  to  the  earth  it  gave  great  light, 

And  so  it  continued  both  day  and  night.     Nowell,  Arc. 

And  by  the  light  of  that  same  Star, 

Three  Wise  men  came  from  country  far; 

To  seek  for  a  King  was  their  intent, 

And  to  follow  the  Star  wherever  it  went.     Nowell,  &c. 

This  Star  drew  nigh  to  the  north-west, 

O'er  Bethlehem  it  took  its  rest, 

And  there  it  did  both  stop  and  stay, 

Right  over  the  place  where  Jesus  lay.     Nowell,  &c. 

Then  entered  in  those  Wise  men  three, 

Full  reverently  upon  their  knee, 

And  offered  there,  in  His  presence, 

Their  gold,  and  myrrh,  and  frankincense.    Nowell,  &c. 

Then  let  us  all  with  one  accord, 

Sing  praises  to  our  Heavenly  Lord, 

That  hath  made  Heaven  and  earth  of  nought, 

And  with  His  Blood  mankind  hath  bought.    Nowell,  &c.
